Graduation weekend

This is our second time renting this property, and we love it! The location is five minutes from town, but you're still in the middle of nature. Our only critique is that the beds are very firm. A mattress topper would make our next stay even better. The property is very clean and well-maintained, and our host was kind and available for any questions.

The Perfect Stay in the Redwoods

This place was INCREDIBLE! Tucked away and into the Redwoods with 2 bedrooms, great big bathroom, windows everywhere and a loft for my kiddos to play in! The best place to come home to after fracturing all day in the Redwoods! Oh and don’t forget the outdoor hot tub! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Majestic gem

The property's location is minutes from town but feels like hours from the city. It's evident that a lot of love has gone into the property. The house is an open invitation for a place to relax. The attention to detail and cleanliness add to the relaxation. All I needed was my personal belongings and food. The water quality was terrific. There are many options to relax: a jacuzzi, excellent trails, or outdoor activities. There is even a volleyball net in the front yard. I highly recommend this rental.

We would absolutely stay at this property again and recommend it to our friends. It is a great location for visiting the redwoods. It is very quiet and completely surrounded by lush, beautiful trees. A few deer visited occasionally.

Great Place

This was a very nice place to stay. Clean, quiet and private. The setting makes you feel like you are far away from everything, but Arcata and Mckinleyville are both less than 10 min from the cabin. Will definitely try to get this cabin the next time we visit Humboldt.

Totally Awesome

We stayed in the upstairs chalet and it was great. It is secluded, has a beautiful view of the woods and the place was immaculate inside and out. The hot tub is set back in the trees and was great in the early morning and incredible at night. I messaged one question to our host during our stay and got an immediate response from him. The chalet is a quick and easy drive to the Arcata Plaza and Cal Poly Humboldt, but is super quiet and feels like you are far off the beaten path. We would love to stay here again.

Not sure I'd stay there again

We stayed on the top floor. It was adequate accommodations but when I got there the wifi password was not correct. I called the guy and left a VM but he never got back with me. We finally asked the nice people downstairs what the password was and they gave it to us. It was NOTHING close to what was in the book. There were only 4 towels for 4 people for 4 nights and with a hot tub, it would have been nice to have had options (especially with no washer or dryer.). The hot tub made our bathing suits really, really stink even after a washing. I was not impressed.
